Air Namibia taking in new crew
 

That's the rumour going 'round. Apparently end of Feb 2012? Can anyone confirm?

Now wouldn't that be nice? All other slots for the previously disadvantaged have been taken, so will be lekker if us who actually put in some hard work could get in as well. Fingers crossed!

Hi guys,
Can some of you give me the contacts for Air namibia for the 319 crew department.
Thank you in advance.

All A319 contract positions are filled and you would have to start as P3 A340 or P2 ERJ135.

But go ahead and try:

Good luck!

Air Namibia recruitment !
 

Good news.
Air Namibia is recruiting with immediate effect for EMB, B737, A319 and A340.
Applications for Captain and F/O position are accepted.
All applications shall contain CV,License,Medical and 3 last pages of logbook.
The applications shall be sent to [email protected]

Nothing on their webpage, where did you find this info ? or it was "straight from the horses mouth" ?

Poljot,

Do you have anything on the salary for FO a319? And the base will be windhoek or joburg while they're flying to accra from joburg... commuting possible?

Base is Windhoek. There are no JHB-Accra flights anymore. They are flying from Windhoek now.

I very much doubt, that there will be F/O positions at all.

They advertised for crews in Nov (Capt's & TRE's for 735)

I heard late & was told the Capts vacancies were filled, but a colleague who was up for assessment had it canx (they said delayed)

TRE job has remained open, & now Capts job advertised again. Does anyone know if they actually took Contract Capts last time around ? or this is the same vacancy "delayed"
As they only have 2 x 735's a bit strange to need folk again so soon. Suggests either , no-one taken last time, or the contract really sucks (doesn't sound this way on paper, money OK -ish & a commuting roster.)
Anyone know any more ?

They have taken a couple of Captains & F/Os for the 735 from Zambezi. But the contract crews have just been told to move out of the hotel, recently. Don't know what the deal with regards to accommodation is.
The B737s are supposed to be phased out by November this year.

To all on PPrune.
Go and sign up to Register at Africa Aviation / Afrika Lugvaart
Much better for us African Aviators.

OK, thanks, the agency says now "Hotel provided and an accommodation allowance may be available in the future if you CHOOSE to instead find an apartment / alternative accommodation".

Not quite the same. . . . . . . . . . but then it often isn't :rolleyes:

I think that bunch of contractors found that the hotel accommodation worked out a bit expensive: Air Nam only pays your accommodation for duty days, where you spend the night in Windhoek. If you overnight in JHB, CPT or Accra, your hotel room in Windhoek is not covered by Air Nam. I think the number of off days they pay your hotel room is limited, too.
In other words, you have to pack up and leave your room quite frequently or foot the bill yourself.
That is why they wanted to share a house. Apparently the house has been found, the allowance for accommodation was paid out, but the gentlemen stayed in the hotel.

One of those stories with at least 2 very different sides to it...

Well, I think they'll surely need more bus drivers, according to ''The Namibian'': the Namibian: AirNam buys 2 planes

The other way round: they will need less pilots as they will be replacing the 737-500s with A319: mixed fleet flying is supposingly on the doorstep (with A340) which ends up with a more flexible but smaller pool of pilots.

I thought their A340 crews were already flying max hours? How long would a transition to a full mixed fleet take them? Atleast one year given how slow they think up there... In my opinion, their ''regional pool'' could remain unchanged for now. Never mind the seniority/salary issues for long-haul flying...

And so February has come and gone....:ugh:

Yip... The illusive carrot-in-front-of-nose... :ugh:
